Notes:
This paper describes a new application of modern estimation theory to nonlinear chemical processes. A particularly convenient form of the extended Kalman estimator is presented and its applications are discussed. The method described may be used to compute nonmeasureable process states and system parameters in real time with an on-line process control computer. An application of the extended Kalman filter to a six-dimensional nonlinear well-stirred reactor is discussed in detail. The results clearly indicate the feasibility of on-line application of this technique. In some cases these computations could eliminate the requirement for an on-line analysis.
